S.P. Murphy Contracting | Roofing Services in Berwick, ME 03901

In our coastal Maine climate, roof algae and moss are common issues that can shorten a roof's lifespan. We address this by first safely removing the growth. More importantly, we identify and correct the underlying cause, which is often excess moisture from shade, debris, or inadequate ventilation. For lasting protection, we can install zinc or copper strips near the ridge, which inhibit future growth with rainwater runoff. Proper repair and maintenance prevent the organic growth from compromising your shingles or roof deck.

Our 30 years of experience with all regional roof types—from slate and metal to various flat roof systems—gives us a unique diagnostic perspective. We systematically rule out common causes and use methodical water testing to trace the water's path back to its often surprising entry point. Many elusive leaks originate from flashing details, vent pipes, or intersections with siding and skylights, areas where our broad expertise in siding and skylight repair is a significant advantage in providing a complete, permanent solution.

Absolutely. Our services are designed to cover your home's key exterior systems. We can efficiently coordinate deck construction or replacement with siding installation or repair. This integrated approach ensures proper detailing where the two systems meet, like at ledger boards and trim, which is crucial for weatherproofing and a cohesive look. Handling both saves you time and provides single-source accountability for the craftsmanship and durability of your home's exterior.
